Contacted by Fleet Me of the corp Habitual Euthanasia of the Alliance Pandemic Legion after posting on recruitment forums.

We talked on TS for about an hour, he asked for the usual API keys and indicated I could join if I hopped into a super right away. Stated that clearly PL has a stockpile of them and he can provide me with a fully fitted one at cost if I deployed immediately.
Took a look at their recruitment forums and was made wary by all the **** they make people go through to even be considered but I thought perhaps they want/are more relaxed with super pilots.

Explained my concerns to Fleet Me, he states he is recruiter (it is his title) and PL cannot scam due to reputation, etc. Willing to go half and half till I get down to nullsec and take over the ship. I ask for an evemail to me stating what I am giving him ISK for in the event what happened.. happened. I stupidly agree and the following ensued...

Do NOT do business with PL outside of large Alliance deals, they will scam you and claim its because you didnt pay a "security deposit". There was no agreement I had to pay the remainder of the ISK till I had the ship in hand. Sayin "Give me 5bil so I can trust you!!" when they have already been given 15bill is unjustifiable. No amount of clever wording or logic gets them out of this one.

Dont be a dumbass like me, shoot them when ya can and otherwise have nothin to do with them!

Looks like someone didn't have Complete Faith in the recruiter and didnt hold up their end of the bargain when asked.

You've been in EVE long enough to pilot a super, yet you don't know not to ever pay to join a corporation?

Well deserved, get a brain. It is idiots like you that keep these scams alive.

Now taking bets on how long it takes for the ISD team to redact the chat logs because they break the forum rules.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Those that don't fall for the goonscams usually think it is only goons who would do something like that.That said it is refreshing to get a Grrr PL for a change.

Also like its a real surprise PANDEMIC LEGION isn't a bunch of friendly help-you-out guys.

Sigh. This **** thread isn't even worth a Nitshe accusation.

Lol I always love when people who didnt lose anything are more indignant than whoever didRoll

HOW DARE YOU LET THIS HAPPEN OMGWTFBBQ!!

I posted not to whine and give PL delicious space tears, just hopin to save someone else from a similar mistake. I have quite alot of ISK and 15bill is only about 1-1.5 weeks of effort so I figured it was worth a shot.
